I would, on the experience of owning an M camera with a 50mm NF
Summicron, a 50mm Elmar and a 35mm Summicron (4rth version) definately
recommend the 35mm 4rth version Summicron (the one before the ASPH)
as the lens to get.  For street shooting, I find this more useful than
the 50mm lenses.

OTOH, for pure flexibility, get the 50mm NF Summicron with eyes for
close focussing.  Great optics, great range, but different applicatinos.
